Our Premium Marine NCO Sword is certified by the Marine Corps Systems Command. Read more about certification.

Why a Premium Grade Sword? This sword suprasses the design specifications of the issue-style swords. WKC uses a certified gold plating finish on the guard and scabbard fittings instead of the issue sword's lacquer finish. The blade etch has superb detail and also provides a space for a personalized etch. These features along with WKC's excellent craftsmanship make this sword worthy of the Premium title.

See the Details tab for specifications.

Is it made in the US?

Question by: Mark Lobley on Nov 8, 2018, 7:00:00 PM

Our swords are made by a company called WKC, located in Solingen, Germany. WKC is the oldest ceremonial sword manufacturer in the world. They hand-make each sword and the craftsmanship is excellent.

Our Premium Marine NCO Sword is certified by the Marine Corps Systems Command, meeting or exceeding all of their certification standards.

Thank you!

How long does it take to receive after purchase?

Question by: Rob Poston on Nov 10, 2019, 10:41:18 AM

Without an etching, production time is 1-2 business days. With a personalized etching, the production time is 2-3 business days. After production shipping time is 3-5 days within the continental US. Shipping to AL, HI, and APO/FPO addresses may vary.

what does it mean when they ask etch alignment

Question by: woody a daugherty on Apr 12, 2020, 2:05:34 PM

"Historical" alignment means the etch reads from the tip of the sword to the grip. The etch is right-side-up when the sword is viewed with the tip toward the left and the blade edge facing downward. "Reversed" alignment is opposite, reading from the grip of the sword out toward the tip.

Is the Marine NCO sword a full tang blade?

Question by: Allison Peirce on Aug 7, 2020, 2:08:15 PM

All of our swords are rat tail tangs. The tang is welded onto the forged blade.

Answer by: Berry Van Rijswijck (Admin) on Aug 13, 2020, 9:22:45 AM

If I chose not to etch name is it etched over to match the rest of the sword or is it a different blade that’s etched without the embossing for a name?

Question by: Scott Gaspar on Nov 30, 2019, 1:23:37 PM

It would not be a different blade or design, if you choose not to etch anything on the blade this space would be left empty.

Answer by: Leah Cook (Admin) on Dec 2, 2019, 4:16:33 PM

What is the "USMC 443" etching? Is the space available for optional etching?

Question by: Michael Edward Diskin on Jun 6, 2020, 9:49:14 AM

USMC 443 refers to the certification number of the sword for official use.

The space we can etch is located on the side of the blade and can be seen in the photo that says "optional etch".

How do I know what size plaque to get for the sword

Question by: Debra wynn on Jun 14, 2020, 10:13:36 PM

For blades 30 inches and smaller, the 40" is best.
For blades larger than 30 inches, the 44" is best.

Answer by: Leah Cook (Admin) on Jun 16, 2020, 9:58:59 AM

Does this sword have a sharpened edge or just a factory sharp dull edge?

-2

Question by: Lewis Lyons on Nov 11, 2018, 4:15:00 PM

These blades are of the highest quality and are crafted for ceremonial use only. They are not sharpened for use as a weapon. The tip of the sword is sharp, but the blade itself is not.

my question is about the sword etching. is the sword etching for the united states marines or does the sword already come with united states marines on it and the etching is something extra like a name

-164

Question by: russell on Feb 15, 2017, 2:02:00 PM

Good question. The United States Marines comes on all the Marine NCO swords. The extra etching is for your personalizing. Usually, customers put their name or a motto.
